Barley (Hordeumvulgare L. sp. Vulgare) is the fourth most important cereal worldwide, preceded by wheat, rice and corn. It has been used in the industrialization of beverages, flours, medicines, diabetic products and animal feed as fodder and feed manufacturing. In Brazil, malting has been the main economic application of barley, with annual consumption by the brewing industry estimated a…
The presence of mycotoxins in food, including cereals cause significant economic losses. The F. graminearum Species Complex (FGSC) is the main pathogen of Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat affecting the inflorescence. The fungus is capable of producing trichothecenes type B and zearalenone, which are important mycotoxins due to its impact on the economy, human and animal health and agri…
In recent decades the production of sorghum grown dramatically, going to play a key role as an energy alternative for animal feed. However, in Brazil, despite the economic losses resulting from fungal contamination and mycotoxins, studies are still preliminary and fall short when it comes to analyzing the problem on a technical standpoint. Given the importance of the topic, our project wi…

The economic losses and potential health risk, due to contamination by mycotoxins, resulting by the presence of the complex of species Fusarium graminearum (CEFG) in Brazil's barley require severe concern to the agricultural and food sectors. Previous studies show that enormous frequency of contaminated barley can be avoided through genetic improvements towards barley's manipulation, to t…
Mycotoxins are substances derived from the secondary metabolism of fungal species that are highly important when they are food contaminants; agricultural products ate the most affected by these microorganisms. Brazil is a notorious producer and exporter country of agricultural products, and in this context, it is a target of the toxigenic fungi; there are many clinical implications due to…
O Complexo de Espécies Fusarium Graminearum (CEFG) estão entre as principais espécies fúngicas responsáveis por infecções em trigo e cevada. Esses fungos geram grande perda de produção devido à podridão das plantas e grãos, e também devido à presença de micotoxinas, compostos nocivos à saúde humana e animal. Atualmente, micotoxinas são um problema de saúde pública e geram anualmente perda…
The quality of beer and ingredients used in its production are and tend to be increasingly relevant, since the significant current consumption and there is an undeniable trend of growth. In this sense, it is necessary to highligh the aspects related to fungal contamination and /or mycotoxins and their impacts on the final product. Additionally, fungi secrete a protein called hydrophobin t…

The Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSC) is composed of a series of morphological undistinguishable plant pathogens capable to produce potent mycotoxins, and cause the Fusarium head blight disease that severely affects cereals grains worldwide. The members of the group may differ in aggressiveness, growth rate and mycotoxin profile, which makes their rapid detection in cereals an i…
The Osamu Utsumi mine of Brazilian nuclear industries (INB), located in the city of Caldas/MG, was the first uranium (U) mine in Brazil and was closed in 1995. Since then, it has been in the decommissioning phase with problems in rehabilitating areas with contamination caused by uranium mining activities. Currently the mine has high levels of uranium contamination. Bioremediation is an al…
Beer consumption is significant and there is an undisputed growth trend. The quality of beer and the ingredients used in its production are and tend to be increasingly relevant. In this context, it is necessary to highlight the aspects related to possible contaminants and their consequent impacts on the final product and, on the future consumption of the beverage. For these reasons, the a…
